Kevin Puts - Dynamic City and Concerto
If you're looking for a work with rhythm, "The City" delivers.
Gregoire Brayssing: Complete Music for Renaissance Guitar
This is a recording of incredibly obscure music by an unknown composer for an esoteric instrument. None of that matters. We have the music.
Piano Duet Music of Marie Jaëll and Jane Savage - Rarest of the Rare
The Duo Korusa, Sujung Cho and Jacob Clark give these works spirited readings. Their performance of the "Voix du printemps" I found especially beautiful.
WorldView Episode 61: Witold Lutosławski
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalMexico Week 1
Mexico has four centuries of classical music to choose from. Here are my selections for the first week of #ClassicalMexico.
Joaquin Turina: Complete Piano Trios
This release features all four of Joaquin Turina's piano trios. It includes his first Trio, written when Turina was 20 (but never published). The release also has his two numbered trios, plus Circulo.
Fresh Sound for Vivaldi Bassoon Concertos
Mauro Monguzzi is off to a good start with this volume. He plays with a rich, full sound. And his bassoon can nimbly dance up and down the instrument's range when needed.
Two Masterworks by Margaret Bonds
Recordings like this show how original Bonds was as a composer. And how important she should be in the tapestry of American classical music.
WorldView Episode 60: Traditional Folktunes
The sixtieth episode of WorldView does not feature any particular composer. Instead, this hour includes seven traditional folksongs and melodies from around the world. In this post, I’ll provide a brief blurb on each of these seven songs, as well as the ensembles that perform them. Enjoy!
